| McIntosh MA252 owners While I don’t have the MA252, I do have a Mac C2500 tube preamp with a Mac MC302 300wpc power amp. I also have a Mac MA6600 integrated and on both systems I use Canare 4S11 speaker cables. I did have quite expensive speaker cables before these bu... | |
| Parasound Preamp I had Parasound P5 and found it to be very clean sounding, but it did not sound involving at all. I sold it. Fast forward a few years and I bought a Parasound Halo Integrated amp and it was the same sound.. It sounded clean but very uninvolving... | |
| The Raven Has Landed I was looking forward to your review, congrats on the new amp. I am sure as it settles in, you will have a lot more to say about it. How long before you take the cover off and start tweaking it? | |
| Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers I am sad to say, but this can happen when you purchase from a small company operating on a shoestring budget in another country. Tekton should make this right but my money says they won’t. I would refuse the merchandise and have it sent back, the... | |
| POWER more POWER Thank you for your service in the Marine Corps. Although I can’t help you with your question, I wanted to say my dad was also a Marine SGT, and we were brought up the Marine way. My dad even bounced a quarter on our beds to make sure we made them ... | |
| Opinions needed-fatigue If you can move your chair back at least 3 feet or so, you will be amazed at the difference in sound. | |
| What are some of the better tuners out there? @ricktpt That is the biggest pile of BS I have heard here to date. | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? There is some guy that cuts through our neighborhood daily with a tricked out Suburban with the bass pounding. I can hear all the sheet metal on the truck vibrating with the bass. Sounds God-awful and it bothers everyone on the street. I hate th... | |
| Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse? I had the same problem with a Dynavector DV2XL cartridge. Bought it used, cantilever was straight but suspension was collapsed. Stupid me for not trying the used cartridge when I first got it. I will say even though the cartridge suspension had... | |
| Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp The Luxman gives much more flexibility with Bass and Treble controls. I would take the Luxman, hands down. | |
| What are some of the better tuners out there? I owned 3 Magnum Dynalab tuners and was happy with them until I got a Mac tuner. Better in every respect, especially the sound. Its what analog should sound like. | |
| Pairing MA 5300 with Large Advents for 900 sq ft apartment? I would try the large Advents and the Mac speakers and see which sounds better in that room, you may be surprised. The Mac amp has plenty of power for either pair of speakers. | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? The 90's brought us Nirvana and Pearl Jam, what's not to like" | |
| More watts or better power ? I have found that you can never have too much power. I would look into one of Nelson’s more powerful amps. I wouldn’t waste money on different cables, the change will be subtle at best. Nelson Pass advises against using a power conditioner with ... | |
| Alvin Lee or Snowy White? As a PF fan and the fact that he played with them post Roger Waters, I would have to say Snowy White. I do love Alvin Lee in “I’D Like To Change The world”, his guitar in that song gives me shivers. |
